Unsung hero -Still Life

Unsung hero  -Still Life 

Its celeriac.  Bought it just to do a still life study of it.  (May make some chips from it also.)  Had not done a still life in a while and I thought yip I want to do one of this. A couple of hours of effort and a nice change of pace.

This week just did some studies and tried a few different approaches to rendering. Just trying to get a more finished look more efficiently.

Finally got around to finishing this copy. Working on this scale (25 cm  x 20) is hard but by the end I had a system for working the details but I could have been neater from the start.  This was an interesting palette and had to work hard to get varying hues.  Looking at the original I could have pushed the darks more.

Celebrating those times when you think everything is under control you decide to take a short break and everything goes to. .  .  A lot of repainting on this and still not happy but on we go.
